I travel to Peru from time to time and I would like to know if there are any hunting opportunities there. I did a search on yahoo and came up with very little information. Could anyone shed some light on this?

There is a lot of hunting in peru indeed i know an excellent outfitter there because a friend hunted withtetails and brocket deer with them Juan

I am interested in free range red stag hunting but i am not sure you can hunt them outside high fenced propertys.

I never hunted there but the landscape in most areas is breathtaking. I have always wanted to flyfish for rainbow trout in the Titicaca Lake at 4.000 meters above NN.

Juan, what is the name of the outfitter? I just returned from Lima and will probably be going back sometime this summer (your winter). I would love to get some more info. Thanks

I've never been to Peru, but if it looks anything like in pictures I have seen then it would have to be beautiful.
As far as the hunting there I would be interested to know also. What species do they have to hunt?

They have whitetail deer in the mountains.

In the ceja de selva and the selva, I am sure they have the typical peccari and other species of the Amazon region.

Friends ill post it later because im not at home but a friend was hunted there ands have ands good results in Taruca,withtetail,pecari,and another species he completed there the south american SCI diamond.Juan

Thanks Juan, I will look forward to reading about it.

Yes, Peru is a beautiful country and the geography is very diverse. There is desert, grueling mountains and jungle as well. Of course the entire country is bordered by the Pacific Ocean on one side and the Amazon Jungle on the other. On the very southern tip of Peru is Lake Titicaca. I just got home from a 40-day vacation with my fiancee's family in Lima and I will be traveling to Peru many times over the years, I'm sure. If there is any good hunting down there, I will have to try it at some point.

There is a zoo called El Parque De Las Leyendas in Lima. I was surprised to see the whitetail deer. You know, they looked just like the deer we have here except they are a little smaller in stature.

In fact, also Venezuela used to have whitetails, some of them outstanding. Now, they of course have Chávez
